Hepburn Regional Park

A real treasure, this park nestles around the famous mineral springs townships pf Daylesford, Hepburn and Hepburn Springs. Rich with natural springs and relics from the gold mining era, the park abounds with opportunities for bushwalking, mountain bike and horse riding, picnicking and nature study.

Tipperary Walking Track

The Tipperary Walking Track runs from picturesque Lake Daylesford to the Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve, following Sailors Creek and Spring Creek through foothill forest for most of the way. The 16 km track takes approximately five to six hours, is mostly level to gently undulating and is quite easy walking. If you don't wish to walk the whole length of the track you can plan walks of shorter distance and duration. Between Lake Daylesford and Bryce's Flat the track exists on both sides of Sailors Creek providing opportunities for loop walks of various lengths.

The Blowhole

This artificial diversion tunnel on Sailors Creek was built by gold miners, probably in the early 1870s. A hole through the spur was cut to redirect the water flow from the original creek line. The soil in the dry creek bed was then sluiced for gold. It is an impressive sight when the creek is in full flow. In addition to viewing The Blowhole, two short loop walks can be undertaken by following the spur above the tunnel or through the 'diggings' area.

Mount Franklin

Mount Franklin, or Lalgambook as it was known by the Jajowurrong, is located 8 km north of Daylesford, 2 km off the Midland Highway (Daylesford-Castlemaine Road). The sheltered extinct volcanic crater of Mount Franklin provides ideal surroundings for a picnic or short term camping. Panoramic views can be obtained from the summit and there is a scenic walking track along the rim of the crater.
